Any non chemical solutions for tick control?
Answer:
Essential oils will deter those pesky insects. Oils such as lavender, tea tree and lemon are most helpful. If you have a dog, you can help by giving him small amount of garlic in his food - this will give him an undesired taste to ticks, fleas, and mosquitos. I have also used NEEM protective spray and this is very effective and safe. Please see my sources for some online stores you can obtain various flea and tick products. My third source will list some ways you can effectively prevent fleas and ticks without buying expensive products. (note, my third source is advice specifically for dogs)
Any new treatment for thyroid cancer?
What is a Hurthle cell carcinoma? Is thyroidectomy the only option? Would alternative medicine bring any relief, such as acupuncture/herbs?
Answer:
This web site tells about Hurthle cell carcinoma, it is rare and not always malignant. But seems to be more serious than the most common form of thyroid cancer.http://ww3.komotv.com/global/story.asp?s...I had thyroid cancer, the most common type papilary. It spread to a lymph node, and I actually 2 malignant growths in my thyroid. They did a full thyroidectomy and removed the lymph node.I would not mess with alternative medicine if this is malignant. It could spread to other parts of your body. I think your options are full or partial thyroidectomy, and this needs to be decided with your doctor. There is a chance they could remove just part of your thyroid, this increases the risk that the cancer could come back.

Any new ideas for boils (hydradenitis Superlativa)?
Has any body come across any new ways to deal with boils..besides the heat compresses and the staying away from heat?
Answer:
Although there are current clinical trials going on and a few that were completed in August 2006 regarding the use of radiotherapy, photodynamic therapy, and enteracept, I think the usual standard treatments of oral antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, washing with hibiclens (available at Walgreens and other drug stores) and other antibacterial soaps, surgery, topical antibiotics, smoking cessation and weightloss are still currently the main treatments available. Obviously, powdering all areas of friction, wearing loose clothing, warm sitz, saltwater, or oatmeal baths, compresses, bagbalm application with a gauze pad, etc. are still in practice. If you look at the enteracept trials (drug used in the treatment of psoriasis), you may feel encouraged. We use topical clindamycin to reduce the inflammation and duration of lesions, but unfortunately, at this time, I don't see any real successful treatments other than etanercept (Enbrel). Currently, lesions are either injected with kenalog, removed with a CO2 laser, or treated orally. Have hope though, with the new clinical trials, I think relief is in sight.

Aveeno has done wonders for my skin. I used to have very a very uneven skin tone and the post-acne spots just made the worse. The soy complex from the Aveeno products nourish and smoothen your skin while evening out its complexion. Also make sure that you always were sunblock. Sun damage takes a huge toll on your skin and greatly contributes to premature aging and uneven skin tone. Neutrogena Active Sunblock is really good and greatly praised by my dermatologist.

Any natural or cheap but effective products for dry skin?
hi, im 18 years old and its really hot in our country these days. my skin becomes scally:-( everytime i will smile there are fine lines forming on my face.. i already have crow's feet(wrinkles beside my eyes) even im only 18.. pls help me,im into moisturizers but still my skin is too sensitive to too much heat(i think?)...
Answer:
this may sound a little weird to you but my boss once told me about a lady she knew that used petrolium jelly to keep her very dry skin moisterized. she puts a very thin layer on her face and neck each night and washed her face in the morning. she has very smooth skin and never needs to buy over the counter creams and lotions. she says it saves her alot of money and never has to worry about dry skin and lines. the trick to make it work she says, is to make sure when you put the stuff on is to make sure it's a thin layer. this is all natural so you don't have to worry about it irritating your skin. (hope this helps).
Try the face mist... I can't remember the brand name but essentially it's water with vitamins and minerals that you shouldn't drink but are very good for your skin. Plus, it feels super good on your face. I think it was Summer's Eve... but check the aisles at Target or Walmart. Also, since we're on the subject of water, drink plenty every day. That'll make a real difference as well. I seriously mean like, a gallon a day.
Check out the work of David Icke you might be one of the Illuminti.
rescue remedy cream is amazing. it doesn't have a scent and isn't greasy. I got some for my grandmother and she loves it. you know how old peoples skin can sometimes get thin and very dry.her skin stays really hydrated well with it and it doesn't cost a lot
try dove soap if you can get it or ivory.moisturizers are like suntan lotion in the sun .i had skin like a gator and the dove soap did wonders
If your skin is a dry, and you are bothered by it, I suggest you try using Zenmed Sensitive Skin CareSystem from Zenmed or Autopalm from Skinstore.comZenmend has no side effects and it's non-irritant to the
skin. It's proven to works fast and it povides Maximum
results! It's certainly a good lotion to prevent further
outbreaks.Another product that I think is effective is Autopalm. This
dry skin mlm is one of the best seller at skinstore.com now.

You need a cream that will penetrate thru multiple layers of skin. Most creams and lotions contain a high water content (the first ingredient on the label) and will not accomplish this.A great natural cream is called Emushea. Its 100% natural and can be used on sensitive skin. It's made with raw Shea Butter and Emu OIl. It penetrates thru multiple layers of skin so it heals from the inside out.ALWAYS remember to use sunblock when going out doors.
Do not smoke - This will only aggravate the problem
Drink lots of water to hydrate the skin
Use Emushea or similar product to moisturize and heal the skin.http://www.emushea.megamarketingmall.com...
